Maybe the mood of the supporters is getting to him.

You've hit the nail on the head there. Yes, in the scheme of things it's not a big deal but why market the game for families only to have a half hearted effort from the character that is the focal point for the kids. It's like going Disneyland and not seeing Mickey Mouse.

I know from hearing from Rovers fans that they love their mascot because he's always trying out new stuff. He came onto the pitch in a hovercraft for one match for crying out loud! Can't fault Rufus for originality!

Likewise I happen to know the guy who does the Grimsby Town mascot and he has a right laugh doing it and the crowd (what little crowd that they get there at Blundell Park) get into the spirit of it.

Our mascot is the very least of our issues!!

It's a disgrace. maybe the airlie bird's lack of enthusiasm is the major factor behind our slump in form. Does agar give him a pep talk before he takes to the field?

Maybe Agar can take over as the Airlie bird when he gets the shove!

I couldn`t give a to$$ about the mascot. If thats one of your major concerns about the club I suggest you get a life.

Airlie Bird is a great bloke. Fantastic with kids, does kids presentations etc

Keep it up Ian

Well thats spoilt it for me now i know theres a bloke inside called Ian, i thought it was a real bird!!

Hardly necessary. If anything the thread's been a bit of light relief amidst all the doom and gloom.

I like your thinking

maybe he can,t be d like half the players
